Among the latest mid-week additions to BioWare's Neverwinter Nights site is a Shadows of Undrentide FAQ. One of the 15 questions is about new weapons in the upcoming expansion pack, which is being developed by FloodGate Entertainment:

The new weapons in Shadows of Undrentide are grenade-like thrown weapons, These weapons are small hand-held items that have different attacks. We have a fire-based weapon, acid, poisoned powder and a few more unique attack types. These Weapons don't need to be equipped, and you don't need any special proficiency to use them. You do need one hand free to toss them, however, and the real risk is trying not to catch any of your allies within the burst effect they all have.

As well, there's a road map with information as to what the Live Team has planned over the next while, including the addition of a new monster type this month:

Gnoll society is ruled by the strongest member of the group who commands loyalty through fear, intimidation and cruelty-- similar to gym class. Gnolls are really tall yet still manage to get around on their legs, which were mistakenly fastened on backwards by their god the demon lord patron Yeenoghu, who is the deity of hard to pronounce names and silent 'G's.

Thirdly, there's a link to an informative player-produced Custom Content Guide that resides at our very own Neverwinter Vault. - Jonric
